And of Brandon Nakashima the first victory of the 2021 edition, the fourth, of the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals, broadcast live on SuperTennis.
The duel Alcaraz-Rune who closes the day session does not disappoint expectations, but confirms how much the Spaniard is a more advanced player in terms of schemes and solutions than his peers.
In the first match of group B Sebastian Korda he loses the first two sets, saves a match with an ace on the dry point, thus extending the fourth to the tiebreaker and wins in the fifth against the French Hugo Gaston.
Bitter onset of Lorenzo Musetti against the Argentine Sebastian baez scpnfitto in quattro set.
The blue in the tiebreak of the fourth set on 5 all suffered a point at a high level goal by the Argentine who then in the next point with the serve and volley ended the game.
